Repository URLs
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
**Local filesystem** (or locally mounted network filesystem):
``/path/to/repo`` — filesystem path to the repository directory (absolute path)
``path/to/repo`` — filesystem path to the repository directory (relative path)
Also, paths like ``~/path/to/repo`` or ``~other/path/to/repo`` work (this is
expanded by your shell).
Note: You may also prepend ``file://`` to a filesystem path to use URL style.
**Remote repositories** accessed via SSH user@host:
``ssh://user@host:port//abs/path/to/repo`` — absolute path
``ssh://user@host:port/rel/path/to/repo`` — path relative to the current directory
**Remote repositories** accessed via SFTP:
``sftp://user@host:port//abs/path/to/repo`` — absolute path
``sftp://user@host:port/rel/path/to/repo`` — path relative to the current directory
For SSH and SFTP URLs, the ``user@`` and ``:port`` parts are optional.
**Remote repositories** accessed via rclone:
``rclone:remote:path`` — see the rclone docs for more details about ``remote:path``.
**Remote repositories** accessed via S3:
``(s3|b2):[profile|(access_key_id:access_key_secret)@][schema://hostname[:port]]/bucket/path`` — see the boto3 docs for more details about credentials.
If you are connecting to AWS S3, ``[schema://hostname[:port]]`` is optional, but ``bucket`` and ``path`` are always required.
Note: There is a known issue with some S3-compatible services, e.g., Backblaze B2. If you encounter problems, try using ``b2:`` instead of ``s3:`` in the URL.
If you frequently need the same repository URL, it is a good idea to set the
``BORG_REPO`` environment variable to set a default repository URL:
::
export BORG_REPO='ssh://user@host:port/rel/path/to/repo'
Then simply omit the ``--repo`` option when you want
to use the default — it will be read from BORG_REPO.
